Koli fisherwomen drying the 'Bombay Duck' or 'bombil' on wooden poles is a common sight in Mumbai near the seashores. Fresh catch is salted and dried over the summer, ready to be sold in the market during the Monsoon season when fishing in the seas is not permitted. It is believed that the term 'Bombay duck' evolved because it was transported by the Bombay Mail, or the 'Bombay Dak' to Bengal.
